Administrators Eric Hall Posted October 9, 2016 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Just had a great interview with Lawrence Hacking who is riding his Africa Twin. Tires not changed yet but we still have time. The big bikes will most likely have an abbreviated course given the level of energy required to muscle them along vs the smaller bikes. And then here's Keith Billings' 990R. He and Lawrence may ride together as much as possible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted October 10, 2016 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Got an interview with Casey Hilliard and Brian Englund. Hope to get that posted soon. We talked about the abbreviated course for the big bikes, their strategy as well as this being a huge opportunity for the future of big bike rally raid racing. They really sense that they are the pioneers here and feel the responsibility resting on their shoulders to put in a good showing. Then we helped Lawrence Hacking set the bead on his rear tire.

Administrators Eric Hall Posted October 11, 2016 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Today's stage is a prologue that won't count for time, just tomorrow's starting order. I'm going to try to get some good photos and video but bandwidth will be an issue. I will try to livestream the start this morning depending on wi-fi. Not enough rooms tonight either so I will be camping 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted October 11, 2016 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 There is a video dropping later this morning from the Baja Rally Facebook page that is kind of a daily summary for yesterday. Also, live streaming as well as racer tracking is over at bajarallymoto.com So who are your favorites? Lawrence Hacking - CRF1000L Keith Billings - 990R Casey Hilliard - HP2 Brian Englund - 950SE I'd probably say Casey, Lawrence, Brian, Keith but we shall see! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
